Also try not to pet the snake that direction anyway, as it can catch scales and probably feels pretty uncomfortable.

I'll try to get a picture up, but it is pretty subtle. Just seems odd that it's only in one spot.

And of course I was not petting him against the grain, so to speak. I had him out and he was crawling all over me, in the course of which I noticed it and further investigated.
